Our Story
The Women Behind Akasha Sun
What began as my solo adventure in 2013 quickly became something much more special when my mom joined in. As the company grew, I needed help, so she started doing the tie dye while I focused on the business side—sales, marketing, and everything else. Together, we’ve created a space where creativity, connection, and natural fibers come to life under the Colorado sun.
Our Craft & Magic
Every piece we make is slow-crafted with intention and care. My mom uses fresh Colorado snow for her ice dyes and surrounds her dye stations with crystals and sound bowls to bring good energy to every batch. She’s an empathetic and intuitive artist, with over four decades of experience running an art gallery, so her sense of color and design is unmatched. Each batch is small, so every garment receives lots of personal attention, inspired by nature and positive energy.
Fibers & Colors with a Story
We primarily use cotton, organic cotton, and rayon, with a little spandex for stretch and comfort. Everything is ethically sourced, and many items are made right here in the USA. Mom’s favorite palette is rich purples, blues, and teals, while mine leans toward earthy greens and rusts—together, we balance and complement each other perfectly.
Two Creatives, One Vision
Though she lives in southern Colorado and I’m in northern Colorado, our collaboration bridges the distance. Mom handles all the tie dye, and I take care of the rest. I always get excited when a new batch arrives—watching her artistry come to life is a joy I never tire of.
Music, Joy & Customer Connection
Music fills the air whenever she’s dyeing, making the process feel joyful and alive. We want you to feel as unique and comfortable in Akasha Sun pieces as we do creating them—like wearing a true expression of yourself.
From Etsy Roots to Our Own Path
We started on a yoga clothing site, quickly becoming one of their top brands, and also sold on Etsy as one of the few hand-dyed yoga clothing companies back then. Moving to our own website has allowed us to lower prices, provide better service, and build a supportive community around Akasha Sun.
Our Commitment
Sustainability and ethical practices are at our core. We’ve donated school supplies, sponsored children through ChildFund, and contributed to environmental causes because we believe in creating beauty that cares for the world.
